Le Constellation

"Le Constellation" is a bar located in the ski resort town of Crans-Montana, Switzerland. It is the site of a devastating fire that occurred on New Year's Day, resulting in the deaths of 41 people and injuries to 115 others, primarily young adults and teenagers. The fire is believed to have been caused by firework fountains attached to bottles. The bar's co-owners, Jacques and Jessica Moretti, are under investigation in both Switzerland and Italy, facing potential charges of negligence. Recent developments include a French court refusing to seize the Morettis' assets, Jacques Moretti claiming post-traumatic depression, and a criminal investigation being opened into local council officials. Furthermore, emergency services have filed a complaint regarding the publication of emergency calls made during the fire. A memorial for the victims also caught fire, likely due to candles. The incident has sparked public outrage and legal battles, highlighting issues of safety regulations and accountability.
